Large Pelagics Lab News:
As the world witnesses the devastation from the earthquake in Haiti, many would like to help. Read a message from Director Molly Lutcavage on ways you can contribute, and what one Tag a Tiny collaborator is doing to help.
Stars of the Discovery Channel show "Swords: Life on the Line" help the LPRC deploy seven X tags (miniature popup archival satellite tags) in the first season of bigeye tagging. Good luck to the Eagle Eye II this season! Check out pictures here!
As tuna season comes to a close in the NW Atlantic, we're taking stock of our Tag a Tiny program. See how we're doing in our blog.
Tag A Tiny is our juvenile bluefin tuna tagging program, which includes PSAT, archival, and conventional tagging. Want to get involved? Click here.
Our Featured Research page is designed to inform our visitors of current research going on in the Large Pelagics Research Lab. PhD student Gilad Heinisch writes about bluefin reproduction research happening at the LPRC.

 

Established in 2003 the laboratory serves to promote research on the large pelagic species of the Atlantic including the tunas, billfish, sharks and sea turtles. Research is directed towards filling current gaps in knowledge on these top ocean predators and valuable marine resources. Specific efforts are geared towards improving current satellite tracking technologies as well as addressing questions concerning biology, population dynamics and ecosystem dynamics. The long term goals of our research are to establish comprehensive information on highly migratory Atlantic species that can lead to improved fisheries management and stock rebuilding. Please see the Large Pelagics Research Center's website for information on our competitive grants and educational programs.
